Prefer EXE or MSI? #231

Closed x0tester0x closed 11 months ago

Do ypu prefer .exe files over .msi files when there are both versions available?

rzander commented 1 year ago

In general, I would prefer MSI over EXE ... but it depends on the quality of the MSI.

x0tester0x commented 1 year ago

Ok, then I have some better URLs for you.

AnyDesk: https://download.anydesk.com/AnyDesk.msi PDF24: https://www.pdf24.org/products/pdf-creator/download/pdf24-creator.msi Skype: https://go.skype.com/msi-download Teams MachineWide: https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads/desktopurl?env=production&plat=windows&arch=x64&managedInstaller=true&download=true

Why do you use for KeePassXC the Legacy MSI and not the normal MSI version?

rzander commented 1 year ago

I have updated KeePassXC. Maybe it was by mistake during an update or the author of the tool has chosen the "legacy" MSI for what reason...

Will you change the URLs of the Apllications listed?

Teams will stay on the current solution as its synced with the MachineWideInstaller... Maybe when Teams 2.0 is released. PDF24 makes sense, but I wait until there is a new version. AnyDesk I have to check the differences, but it has to wait until a new version is released Skype is updated

reverted skype to use "https://download.skype.com/s4l/download/win/Skype-8.98.0.407.msi" as "https://go.skype.com/msi-download" does not work from a RuckZuck Package.... They may have too many redirects so the download does fail...

Skype URL HTTP?

"URL": "[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12;Invoke-WebRequest -uri \"http://go.skype.com/msi-download\" -OutFile Skype-8.99.0.202.msi"

Can you add here HTTPS?
